The students will use marketing research, communications planning, strategy, and marketing best practices to create a comprehensive marketing plan.
Learners
Students will submit a detailed marketing plan including their research, analysis, insights, and recommendations. Since the level of information available and the presentation of material (including visuals, etc.) will vary based on the project scenario, there is no set length defined for the report; however, it is fair to expect a roughly 20-page report with a concise executive summary of all key findings and recommendations.
